Players gain Tocco Gelido during the Phase 2.5 Intermission as well, so the longer you remain in that intermission, the more stacks the raid gets. However, there's the Water Elemental, which has a ton of health on Mythic to slow you down in the Intermission. It has a ton of health, and on Mythic, splits into two smaller elementals also with a decent amount of health. Method decided to not bother with killing the elemental through its massive amount of health and decide to race the Tocco Gelido stacks by defeating Jaina before the entire raid was Ice Blocked. \r\rIt all starts at the beginning of Phase 2.5, by popping Distorsione Temporale and that's when the race begins. Method splits their DPS into Jaina and the Ice Wall putting as much DPS as they can into Jaina (who doesn't have a damage reduction while casting Flash Freeze) before killing the Ice Wall at the very last minute. This shaves about 4 to 5 million health off Jaina in the last phase. They then burst Nathanos out of the Ice Block, while Gingi gets into position to interrupt Jaina immediately using Aspetto della Tartaruga, clicking on a Varco Demoniaco, interrupting Jaina, and then getting Life Gripped back.\r\rThis starts Phase 3 and it's a race against time, RNG and the insane ramping damage of the Tocco Gelido stacks. Method healers use their raid cooldowns with two Totem del Collegamento Spirituales and two Parola del Potere: Barrieras to combat the raid damage, while the raid tunnels into Jaina. Two melee interrupters need to maintain perfect kicks on the Tide Elemental's Raffica di Dardi d'Acqua or else it casts its Ultimate Ability, Frost Nova, leading to a wipe. Sco starts with the boss and intentionally dies at high Raffica di Dardi d'Acqua stacks under a Shaman's Totem del Risveglio Ancestrale so that he doesn't get Ice Blocked and spawn any Icicles. Lastly, Method needed to good Cascata Ghiacciata RNG so that everyone can plant and just DPS Jaina to the kill!\r\r\r\rReactions\rSco, the founder and co-owner of Method, thanks everyone for the support and has a pretty epic screenshot:\r<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">THANK YOU FOR THE INSANE SUPPORT - wouldn&#39;t be possible with you all <br> &amp; TY for epic pic Lorosfyr @ <a href="https:\/\/twitter.com\/discordapp?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@discordapp<\/a> <br><br>JAINA HAS BEEN DEFEATED AT LAST <a href="https:\/\/t.co\/JOWdbIgJzr">pic.twitter.com\/JOWdbIgJzr<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Scott McMillan (@Methodsco) <a href="https:\/\/twitter.com\/Methodsco\/status\/1092838024768077825?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">February 5, 2019<\/a><\/blockquote>\r<iframe src="https:\/\/clips.twitch.tv\/embed?clip=AgileDeadTermiteDendiFace&autoplay=false" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="true" height="378" width="620"><\/iframe>\r\r\rDarrie, General Manager of Method is very proud:\r<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">i am so proud of everyone here like just stop i can\u2019t even<\/p>&mdash; darrie @ London
